It still totally jobs to IOW but hey, lets compare.

Headliners

IOW
The Who
David Bowie
Stereophonics

Carling weekend
Greenday
Darkness
White Stripes

I'm not the worlds biggest GD fan if im honest, so they wouldn't make me buy a ticket, Whites ive been wanting to see for ages so at very least I will go for the one day they are on. Darkness were brilliant when I saw them last year but I have reservations that an outdoor gig to 50,000 people would bee as goot as 3,000 in the Manchester Apollo.

Isle of wight has the Who, class. Bowie (who I saw a few years back) sheer class and the Phonics (who I saw in December) more class.

Winner - I O W

Support

CW

Offspring
Morrissey
Arthur Dollar

IOW

Groove Armada
Manic Street Preachers
Charlatans

I wouldn't lose any sleep over missing the Offspring, Morrissey has some good recent stuff, and if he played Charming Man or How Soon is Now i'd go mental, but he is booking Meltdown which he will play with the New York Dolls so I'd go see him there. And 50 Cent? Hopefully he follows suit with JayZ and cancels.

Groove Armada wouldn't be too bad as the sun is going down and you laying down with a joint but not my first choice of bands Id see. Manics and the Charlatans are both equally quality. Im into Indie and British rock so for me..

Winner - IOW

Various Others

CW

Ash
Hives
Franz Ferdinand
Libertines

IOW

Jet
Snow Patrol
Libertines
Suzanne Vega
Electric Soft Parade
British Sea Power

Although Id like to see The Hives and Franz, IOW has 3 of the biggest bands of the last 9-12 months in Libertines Jet and Snow Patrol. Suzanne Vega rules also and the others are good for the early shifts so I think hands down

Winner - IOW

Now dont get me wrong, T in the Park totally pisses on every other festival this year, and so does that cool Irish festival that I forget the name of but, thats life.

Thats my take on it.
